Sad that it seems no one recorded the Sukkiri Live :(

This account posted performances from the Sukkiri live. Not HQ but better than nothing I suppose.

Omg magic is amazing as well. WOML seems to be quite a favourite amongst Japanese fans though? Or at least that's how I see it when I watch her DVDs. That song gets the most cheers in WOML Tour/The Artist.

Thank you so much, :luv2

It really is nice to see, how hyped the audience here is about her, considering probably only the people with (W FACE Tour) lightsticks are her fans.
In the backstage footage Sukkiri aired two weeks ago, Kuu told everyone (again, not the first time she spoke about that) how nervous she still is, when she's performing before an audience not consisting solely of her own fans (aka not her own concerts).
Also interesting, how popular Ultraviolet seems to be.

Omg, her posts from the Hiroshima dates this weekend are awesome!

^ they are omg!!! She looks gorgeous. Thanks corvina for the broadcast and pics :love.

Koda Kumi summoning The Gays™️

Kuu released a video about DNA at her FC yesterday.
To sum it up:
She in fact started with DNA before AND, but just now finishes it with the last two songs.
DNA is going to be an album to "feel Kuu's DNA with".
It's going to include all different kinds of Kuu sounds - nostalgic ones, her current pop sound, loved ballads s.o.
Like little (DNA) pieces forming her together.
For the DNA Tour setlist she's paying attention to all the comments she receives e.g. through Instagram.
Right now it's still scattered in small pieces on her laptop.

So the album is probably going back to have a non-cohesive tracklist like before WOML?
As her first idea for this year was only doing a FC album and tour, DNA was probably meant to be it initally.

Yas! Ready for a cellphone ballad or two. :luv2:luv2

Some more info about DNA as she talked about it in the MC in Hiroshima apparently and some Japanese fans posted it in their comments:
- Kuu has 14 songs for DNA. Let's see, if she's going to use all of them or narrowing it down to 10 again.
-The hard song she just recently recorded has a tie-in. She needed 3 days for the song.
- Compared to AND, AND is a "chill" album, while DNA is a "catchy" album.
- She recorded a grand ballad for the album.

If I see more, I gonna share them.

Thanks for those info, Corvina! This is getting me hyped for DNA, I really hope all these 14 songs are included on it :heart

Thanks for the info!
Does DNA not deserve its own spoiler on the opening post? That way we can keep track of what info we have so far

Does anyone have the performance that Kuu did with Linda Yamamoto of Dounimo tomaranai and could share it, pretty pretty please?

The last time they said "grand ballad" we ended up with NEVER ENOUGH. Her worst ballad to date. Hope this is better.

NEVER ENOUGH?

I went to both Hiroshima shows last weekend! Absolutely awesome concerts! Her energy was incredible, especially nice to see in such a small venue (I read the venue has a capacity of about 800).

This was my 2nd/3rd time seeing her after the Singles Best Tour in 2016. I was at the very back on the 2nd floor then, but it was still one of my favourite concerts of the year. I was no more than 10 metres from her at these concerts, and got waved at a couple of times :D

I didn't know anything about the setlist before going, so it was a pleasant surprise! Megumi no Hito, although it's a cover, is one of my favourite songs from her, so unexpectedly seeing her perform it live was amazing!

Man does she talk fast though, MCs were very difficult to keep up with, haha. A fan question was "What is a recent dream that surprised you?" and she spoke about getting ready for a concert, and when the curtain opened, it was just a couple of family members in the audience. But that she carried on dancing asking her dancers "What should we do?" xD Another fan question asked her if she had any recommendations in Hiroshima, to which she bluntly answered "None" (such a waste of a fan question!) xD But she then went on to describe a trip she had there when she was younger, didn't catch all the details though.

Saturday was better than Sunday for me, as I had to deal with a really annoying girl with her hands constantly in the air until I managed to get beside her/in front. Only minor complaint about the show was that it's a shame the setlist was the exact same, and that some of the MC parts were definitely rehearsed.

Absolutely can't wait to see her again in November for the DNA tour!

I usually only do that with officially released information.
But you're right, cause I didn't add DNA Tour and the site for the album - that is official after all.

I like this concept, it's sounds like it will be a stronger version of what was done for W FACE. Here for the nostalgic sound she's talking about.

Has anyone seen Kuu’s recent posts on Instagram where she is wearing a Canada shirt? Back-On performed in my city and I saw them (and met one of the memebers here :P). I got to meet Kenji a few times, and he signed my Back-On shirt twice! He also took pictures of Vas and I because we had some Kuu swag on us (mine was borrowed and made for an awkward exchange between Vas and I with a hand shake :laugh ), so Kuu knows we exist and now I can die happy. I just hope I don’t look fat in the picture Kenji showed Kuu XD
